Therapeutic Yoga

Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self. -The Bhagavad Gita

Taking care of our bodies physically is important, but being able to listen to, relax and restore our bodies through movement can be a life changing experience. Yoga has the capacity to create that dynamic in our lives. With the hustle and bustle of our every day lives, we often get out of tune with ourselves. We are often unaware how much of our lives we spend in a heightened, aroused, stressed state. Yoga has the ability to serve as a coping skill that assists with managing stress, creating mental, emotional, and physical relaxation, and healing trauma.

Trauma can create emotional and physical imprints on the body. Unresolved trauma can create a variety of issues: migraines, nervous ticks, clenched shoulders/neck/jaws, and emotional distress. Individuals might find that in distress their range of motion becomes limited. Sleep, digestion, breathing and chemical balance can be impacted due to trauma.
